Can anyone suggest any good reads on CO2, Lighting, Ferts, and Water Parameters?

I am looking to try and compile somewhat of a quick reference beginners guide from many sources to help me sort out all of this. It seems to me the hobby is a lot more complex now than it was when I was a kid. I thought if I could compile a quick guide to these topics it would be very helpful not only to me but many others that are new to the hobby or getting back into it after years away like myself.

I am not trying to re invent the wheel so if there is already a complete read on these topics, please let me know where to find it.

The forum here has some very good information on just about every topic. Read the sticky’s at the top of each forum topic. Look under “Freshwater Tank Equipment” for posts on everything from food to lighting.
